Guild Wars 2

Not sure how long this problem has been persisting, or if it’s widespread. This could be a temporary problem due to server lag from our wonderful Anet Servers™ thanks to the latest patch activity.

But here is the mid life crisis i’m having: The explosion effect of the 2 part skill—Burning Speed, seems to be activating during the middle of the rush at around ~300 range from the point of launch, rather than the end. I’ve asked a few Elementalists and they’ve been having the same problem, while the rest are lyk all “br0, I have no idea what you’re talking about, all I do when I use that skill now is look at the beautiful floor, burning speed, then gg”

What problems does this cause? Well, it makes Burning Speed + LF combos alot trickier as you have to flash very early, which puts the combo in risk of not executing properly. And well, MFW when a perfectly angled Burning Speed misses because the explodey thing is 300 range now.

Maybe the Burning Speed friends hates us. Maybe Mr Explodey is saying to us: “That’s what you get for looking at the floor and cutting Mr Rush’s employment career short” and is doing this in protest of our unusual ways. Or maybe Mr Explodey found out Ms Lightning Flash was cheating on him with Mr Earthquake again.

Despite that such alligations, all I know is that right now, our beloved Unofficial Elementalist Mascot (The Raving Red Panda) is not impressed with this problem and is desperately in need of some medical help.

“PLS SEND HELP, BURNING SPEED IS PROBABLY BUGGED, I DONT WANT TO DIE AN UNHAPPY TERMINALLY ILL ORPHAN” – Raving Red Panda

Yes this has been bothering me real hard, but a lot of ele’s don’t seem to care.

I play a zerk heavy ele and this change made landing burning speed + lf + firegrab a lot harder and unreliable,
you have to flash earlier now which causes the explosion from burning speed to have a slight delay when you land it.
I rly hope anet fixes this one day as it has made me play my ele less and its my fav class x.x

This is a huge issue for experienced eles, it’s gone unnoticed since the last patch to burning speed. It needs fixed. Zerk dagger eles rely a lot on this combo to work properly. Please Anet, look into it.

Most eles do not care too. As far as i can tell they move the min ranges of the explosion to the 360 and the max to the 600. Unless its a bug then its a bug but the ranges on it becomes true at 600 if the explosion happens at 480. Befor it had a max ranges of 840 and a min ranges of 600 on a full burning speed. Aoe ability tend to have hidden higher ranges then most ability.

What i would not mind seeing is it to have a chose if the explosion happens in the 1/2 use so you could chose when and where to have it go off.

OK. New problem. Well, someone else pointed this out to me, but I thought I was going crazy when this issue happened a few times in the last 2 days.

I sometimes get this weird issue where my character faces to where I started my burning speed after Lightning Flash.

So much easier to log into the game and tell you but your not on! Any way from what i can tell you can turn at the end of BS if your view is facing that way. So the trick is to start your bs and spin your view aron behind you so you turn just after the BS. As for LF with BS i do not know i am not that fast to make it work so i just never use the trick.

I don’t know, I kind of like the new version better. Way more useful for dealing with melee characters who won’t get off your kitten enough for you to get the range necessary to land the old version.

But I do play d/f more than d/d so I don’t care as much about fire grab combos.

Maybe they could update it to be halfway between the old and new versions as a compromise?
